Drug farm discovered in Northfleet

04 December 2012

A drugs
factory with £290,000 worth of cannabis has been uncovered in
Northfleet.

Police raided a warehouse on Grove
Road last Wednesday (November 28) and discovered about 500 plants
worth about £200,000 along with 20 kilos of dried cannabis in trays
with an estimated street value of about £90,000.

Drugs liaison officer Adrian Parsons
said: "There was a significant number of plants and dried cannabis
seized following a tip-off from Crimestoppers.

"Most of our finds are residential
dwellings and it is fairly unusual to come across one that is a
commercial set-up."

No arrests have been made, but if
anyone has information call 101 quoting reference XY/036520/12.
